It's worth giving away 100 OPS points or whatever. Okay, 200. For a few AB. Amazing, the Yanks have <i>four</i> catchers on the roster, and they're going to call up another one.

I get it! Joe's banking on Sox imploding faster and longer than his team, so he can rest everyone once again and ease into the playoffs as usual. Then they can flip the switch and play the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaNT_qw-77s" rel="nofollow">Games That Count!</a> Ah yes, that's what champion veteran teams do. They also don't play their rookies to full capacity either; even if that capacity is capped at a low number or low leverage situation. It took me almost four season to figure out, but I get it, hallelujah! [89] Ah reckon so…

Girardi also doesn’t want Jorge Posada to catch back to back games. “Montero will probably catch (tomorrow),” Girardi said. Francisco Cervelli is going back to New York for tests and Girardi indicated that a catcher will likely be called up. He hinted at Austin Romine. </blockquote> I'd reckon that is ... suboptimal.
